March 2010

The last couple lessons I have been working on connection and the canter... much funner that "trotting" all the time...

This past week I was asked to hold a dressage whip in each hand. I'm not quick enough to ask in time to remind the horse of their hind leg. I rode Corey last week, and Libby this week.

Corey has a great canter - I didnt' have 2 whips last week; I actually don't need one with her :-)

Libby, who I used 2 dressage whips with - just get's "stuck" and you need to ride her correctly or she might throw a leg out which can get me going... she's not doing it to be mean. You just need to ride her straight and correct and then she will go into a nice frame.

I'm hoping to ride Asher this weekend and hope to remember everything I've been taught - and work on him!
